Planxty Live
Planxty Live 2004 DVD. Planxty is the super group that revolutionized Irish traditional music in the 70’s. By mixing bouzouki, mandolin and guitar with the uilleann pipes, they changed the direction of traditional music. The guitar had always been thought of as a foreign instrument, not to accompany “the pure” Irish pipes. But when two brilliant string instrumentalists, Andy Irvine and Donal Lunny joined uilleann pipe genius, Liam O’Flynn they made this unique mix sound as though they had always belonged together. Andy and Christy Moore, who also played bodhran, provided the vocals for the group. They recorded six albums the first in 1983 and all went on to brilliant solo careers. Their lasting influence is demonstrated by the overwhelming reception for the reunion album Planxty 2004. Far from being a money machine for ex music greats, this album found four musicians still at the top of their game, rediscovering the joys of their youth.
